This is truly outstanding! I must first say, that this is not the lime sorbet I was looking for, and I am not entirely sure that I would classify this recipe as "sorbet" at all. But I will say, that the flavor of this recipe is extremely outstanding! The taste is truly that of a frozen version of key lime pie : ) I made this with bottled lime juice in my ice cream machine and allowed to sit in my freezer to freeze for a few hours before tasting. There is not question that I will make this recipe again. It is wonderful! I served a scoop of this with Derf's recipe #17938 for one terrific dessert! Thank you, Kathy, for sharing this recipe!

I have a key lime tree in my garden and its loaded with fuit, so I am always looking for recipes with key limes. The grandchildren picked the fruit and squeezed the limes and my daughter and me made this ice cream. The taste is wonderful and the recipe so extremely easy. Thank you Kathy, I will make this on many occasions.
